Description

Hegel is notable for his distinctive contribution to the perennial concerns of political philosophy.

He outlines a powerful account of freedom as both a personal and social achievement, discussing theories of personal rights, private property and punishment.

He articulates a social analysis of human action and criticizes Kantian ethics.

His theory of self-actualization locates our social identities within 'Ethical Life' - the institutions of family life, civil society and the state - expressing a unique variety of rationalist conservatism.

In this volume some of the finest interpreters of Hegel writing in English explore this distinguished heritage and explain its contemporary relevance.
